Son of Former IRGC Commander Murdered in Dubai
(Foundation for Democracy in Iran) Kenneth R. Timmerman - Ahmed Rezai was found dead in Dubai on Nov. 13. He is the son of former Revolutionary Guard commander Mohsen Rezai, secretary-general of Iran's influential Expediency Council, which advises Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. While some claim that his death was a suicide, the Iranian regime had good cause to murder the younger Rezai, who initially fled to the U.S. in 1998 and denounced the regime and its ongoing assassination campaign against Iranian dissidents. An American citizen, Ahmad Rezai has tried repeatedly to travel to Iran to visit his family, but has been turned back several times and threatened with arrest. According to an unconfirmed report, he was escorted back to Dubai by two Revolutionary Guards Quds force officers, shortly before he was murdered.
